It's been two weeks and Richard's death still seems unreal. It's like he's just gone shopping and will be back anytime.
Many former students came to the funeral home. Many have sent cards. So many told me that he influenced them to become teachers.
One former student who is now a teacher wrote:
"My deepest sympathies and prayers for the Krone family. Mr. Krone was one of the most influential men I have known, and is the reason why I pursued a career in education. I try to remember the life lessons he taught us, along with the school lessons. He will be missed, and will never be forgotten. My wife and I send our deepest condolences and prayers to the family and friends. "
These students/teachers are Richard's legacy.

It's that inspiration that we all hope to achieve that we live for. I'm sure you are still in shock and are not sure what to do with yourself. My thoughts are with you.
Teresa;
What a wonderful legacy Richard left behind. I still think back 40-50 years and recall the good influences on my life. Most were teachers.
My best.
It's a life lived well that has
touched others in a positive way and left the world a better place.
If everyone lived that way, it would be "heaven on earth."
i have all the symptoms of myeloma & anticipate being diagnosed today (it's my first oncologist visit) so i'll probably need yet another app't for the bone marrow test, but all my blood tests point to myeloma. i've been searching on the net for something like this blog & having just found it, i want to thank U in advance for keeping such a record. i also want to offer my condolences, altho from a stranger, it is heart-felt, as it appears i am at the beginning of a journey your husband travelled for 10 years. in spite of his loss, i hope U will have the strength to continue to blog. sincerely, kris frm california

Dear Teresa,
My husband also has MM - diagnosed in '05 when he was 44, but had it for a year and 1/2 before diagnosis. He's been in remission for over 3 years, but is still pretty miserable with pain.
My heart goes out to you - I know it's a lot to go through as a caretaker for so many years.
My condolences and best wishes..
Sincerely,
Linda from
Indiana
